Axle sorted out.... sort of...

As you may aware that I have yet to sort out the rear axle because of the 4jb1-T output shaft is in the middle as supposed to the lower right for the original land rover engine. It is not so problematic with the longer wheel base though...

There are few options like changed the rear axle with Toy, Isu axle (prado, bighorn etc) however that will create another problem that I have to change the front axle ratio to match the rear axle. Not to mention that the width of the axle need to matched as well.

It is very fortunate that the garage owner where I swap the engine is very creative... he finally decide to modified the original rover axle by moving the gear to the back and in result the gear house now is on the left. You can see the difference in the following picture.

The left picture is the original that show the gearing house is in the right, while the other picture show the "doctored" one. However it make the distance between the axle and engine is closer and "deeper". I do not know if it is OK but I asked my garage to make a propeller shaft anyway so here are the picture.. please let me know if it is alright. I doubt it will work alright especially for offroad... any comments, suggestions are very appreciated.

salam kenal mas,saya wahid,yang ikutan ngerubah mesin defender 110 bermesin bensin saya pake 4d56T....setelah liat landy serie mas pake 4jb1-T...

saya pernah liat land rovernya anaknya pak Budi,tipenya 88 yg di panjangin jadi 100..?(yang di pake di eventnya diplomat)..mesinnya pake PS transmisi pake punya PS juga....tapi transfer case nya pake punya defender alasannya sudah ada difflocknya...saya perhatikan antara transmisi PS dan Transfercasenya ada adaptor yg tebalnya kira2...3 s/d 5 cm...untuk gardan depan dan belakang (full floating) pake punya FJ 60 karena sudah ada Diff locknya (manual)...untuk lebih jelasnya mas bisa telpon anaknya pak budi di 08159125099 namanya doddi atau pak budinya di 08161858848...

saya sendiri belum pernah liat transmisi dan transmisinya big horn....tapi logikanya antara transmisi dan transfercase mestinya bisa di pisah....?hehe..oke mas semoga membantu...

salam

Mas Vidi...sudutnya kok ngeri banget...
itu baru dilihat dari samping. Setahu saya posisi output transmisi bighorn itu center sedang gardan landy ada di kanan. ini juga bahaya jika terlalu banyak sudutnya. kemudian saya kok tidak melihat sambungan spline selongsong propeler shaft yang mengantisipasi gerakan gardan. Jika propeler shaft kaku akan sulit propelernya berputar, bisa-bisa terjadi twist dishaft-ya atau patah cross jointnya.
